Introduction
Modern readers’ advisory is a relationship driven practice that positions every library staff member as a catalyst for patrons’ deeper engagement with reading and with the library. We've created these competencies to describe the art and practice of readers’ advisory and help rekindle a shared commitment to it. By intentionally building a culture of advisory services, libraries elevate the patron experience, strengthen their communities, and deliver an impact that lasts far beyond a single interaction.
We hope libraries everywhere will use this framework to ensure that helping readers find stories that matter to them remains an essential and visible part of library service.
